I would love to generate it at build. I intentionally decided not to,
because for this the help2man run would have to call the newly built
binary, and if i remember correctly this is a problem when
cross-compiling a package. If we have a solution to this problem, or if
this is a misunderstanding from my side, we can generate the manpage at
package build time.
